چکیده

The regularized near-cloak via the transformation optics approach in the time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering is considered. This work extends the existing studies mainly in two aspects. First, it presents a near-cloak construction by incorporating a much more general conducting layer between the cloaked and cloaking regions. This might be of significant practical importance when production fluctuations occur. Second, it allows the cloaked contents to be both passive and active with an applied current inside. In assessing the near-cloaking performance, comprehensive and sharp estimates are derived for the scattering amplitude in terms of the asymptotic regularization parameter and the material tensors of the conducting layer. The scattering estimates are independent of the passive/active contents being cloaked, which implies that one could nearly cloak arbitrary contents by using the proposed near-cloak construction. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Il améliore les résultats déjà obtenus sur ce sujet selon deux directions. D’abord, on présente une construction assez générale de structures d’invisibilité qui incorpore une couche conductrice. Ensuite, on démontre la possibilité de placer une source active dans la région invisible sans qu’elle soit détectée. Afin d’évaluer les performances de la construction proposée on établit des estimations fines de l’amplitude de diffusion en fonction du paramètre de régularisation et des propriétés physiques de la couche conductrice. Ces estimations sont uniformes par rapport aux objets placés dans la région d’invisibilité. Ceci montre que la construction proposée dans cet article permet de rendre invisible des objets arbitraires. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. MSC: 35Q60; 78A25; 35R30

Enhancement of Near Cloaking for the Full Maxwell Equations

In this paper, we consider near cloaking for the full Maxwell equations. We extend the method of [5, 6], where the quasi-static limit case and the Helmholtz equation are considered, to electromagnetic scattering problems. We construct very effective near cloaking structures for the electromagnetic scattering problem at a fixed frequency. These new structures are, before using the transformation...

Cloaking using complementary media for electromagnetic waves

Negative index materials are artificial structures whose refractive index has negative value over some frequency range. The study of these materials has attracted a lot of attention in the scientific community not only because of their many potential interesting applications but also because of challenges in understanding their intriguing properties due to the signchanging coefficients in equat...

N ov 2 00 6 Full - wave invisibility of active devices at all frequencies

There has recently been considerable interest in the possibility, both theoretical and practical, of invisibility (or “cloaking”) from observation by electromagnetic (EM) waves. Here, we prove invisibility, with respect to solutions of the Helmholtz and Maxwell’s equations, for several constructions of cloaking devices. Previous results have either been on the level of ray tracing [Le, PSS] or ...

Cloaking a sensor for three-dimensional Maxwell's equations: transformation optics approach.

The ideal transformation optics cloaking is accompanied by shielding: external observations do not provide any indication of the presence of a cloaked object, nor is any information about the fields outside detectable inside the cloaked region. In this paper, a transformation is proposed to cloak three-dimensional objects for electromagnetic waves in sensor mode, i.e., cloaking accompanied by d...

The Boundary Conditions for Electromagnetic Invisibility Cloaks ∗

In this paper we study electromagnetic invisibility cloaks in transformation media that are obtained by transformation from general anisotropic media. We assume that there are several cloaks located in different points in space. Our results apply in particular to the first order invisibility cloaks introduced by Pendry et al. and to the high order invisibility cloaks introduced by Hendi et al. ...
